i loved this post...i felt like i got to know you a 'little' bit more ;)
thanks for sharing 100 things.
Very enlightening; thanks for sharing! I heart the walking too. Also it is, as always, so nice to hear people saying that they're proud of themselves.
I loved that list. Very fun to read. I wish my grandparents were still alive, and I wish the one that is still alive wasn't senile.
Loving 11, 12 and 13 -- so there's hope for me of meeting a man at 40 years old then?
Also loving:
"53. I met a gal once who was dating a man with the same first and last name of The Husband
54. It wasn't The Husband"
ROFLMAO!
Sad to hear you are not close to your brother and sister-in-law. I'm not really close to mine, but we do live 100 miles away .... I think I would try to make more effort if we only lived 5 mins away.
Best wishes,
Sharon
Very cool list.
I went to Italy 2 years ago and LOVED IT!!!!
Good luck with finishing any outstanding projects in your life.
Very nice snippets of your life - you sound like someone I'd like to meet!
I made it through!! Thanks for sharing!! We have alot in common! I may do one of these in the future.
Thanks for sharing. I love reading random things about people. Helps me get to know them. I am going to steal your idea. Hopefully I will post it soon.
